"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDOSLynLJy
"What the fuck do you want, Red?" He rubs the back of his neck, his muscles rippling with the movement. I tear my eyes away, before Vanessa can catch me starting. It was incredibly difficult. Seriously, I'm like a freaking saint right now.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREokbnw9ps
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQWIilRuuV
"I couldn't find you, and I drank too much, so I just went and laid down in the spare room since I knew it was empty." I hope it sounds convincing.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYvOIYmnwj
"Oh ok. You just disappeared, so I didn't know..." Her eyes dart to Ben. I give a subtle head shake, to reassure her. "Okay, well... do you need to go then?" She glanced at him again. 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvTqp47GCe
She knows I'm not comfortable being around him and it's mostly thanks to her that I've been able to avoid him as much as I have. 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy5Kx1mW20
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aKkNaCJU4
"Well, if that's all. Fuck off, Red." Ben returns to his room, slamming the door in my face. My mouth is hanging open, but I can't stop myself.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38pS3Oea6N
What just happened? 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGG05pW9NU
"Wow." 'Ness looks at me sympathetically before pulling me into a hug. "Sorry, girlie. I know you are avoiding him, but I didn't know what to think when I couldn't find you."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALBdeunF8H
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuF4t9Ht6b
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0GtdBx5M2
I pull out of her hug. I need to see him before we leave. "Yeah, I'm just gonna run to the bathroom real quick. Be right back."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH5sPe9nrS
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR5CGXvjcX
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwmGjFFiDN
He looks up, realizing I'm there. "Kat. Oh thank god, I'm glad you came back. I am so sorry for that." He steps forward to wrap his arms around me. "I figured it would be best to keep up appearances until we figure out how to break the news in a convincing way. I don't think she suspects anything, do you?"509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzXW9Ub1vf
He hasn't stopped talking long enough for me to say anything, I open my mouth to expand, but he keeps going. He releases me from the hug, but doesn't step back. 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7DFDrAXqt
"I thought you would be pissed. Oh man, I thought for sure you would go full on hurricane. Red probably wants to kill me. We need a really good way to come out. Something big, but everyone has to believe it. Do you have any ideas?"509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSX3tPYP2S
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M9hTjq2j2
"I had a few ideas, but I don't think they are grand enough. We need a grand gesture." I have to stop him, I told Vanessa I would hurry and if I don't, she will come get me.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR98Tic6xyL
"Ben. I need to go. Are you okay?" I place my hand on his cheek. He leans into my touch and closes his eyes, relaxing instantly. 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvmGui88vh
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYJi2Xw21U
"Listen, I know this is for you, but I was wondering if maybe I could tell my mom we're dating, just to get her off my back? If not, that's totally okay." He wants to tell his mom? 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFfSPIwRUw
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte0eArU0mu
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAKcVQgJnF
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea3AROvJkE
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6tRvIWmDz
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95S8GtRXzK
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxq2A2OhrQ

I look at my phone. 509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTMwCqWlTj
Me: Hello, Handsome.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloOO5LbSv8
He must have sent a text to his own number, so it looks like I said it to him. I roll my eyes. Conceited, much?509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5fA1XNd9i
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQrVVsQpZ3
